Rimbaud...a poetic alchemy
"Normality" does not imprison me
My life being not heavy enough
Is allowed to take flight
To float above the reasoned realm
Where revelations of the truth
Realized only by detachment devour my thought
Increase my errorless purpose
And so the stencils of oriental scribes
Like colourless shadows overpower my mind
Floating, floating high above
Adrift on an expanse of darkness
Presently that black ink
Raises its curtain before my very eyes
Revealing the stage, the illuminated stage
On which I am to set my drama
Where the phantoms of my imagination
Will enact their mysterious mysteries
A poetic alchemy
